You actualy pick the cpu as one of the config options of the kernel. Including a few options that you will not find rpms for. If you want a copy of the .config file RedHat used to build the kernel, look in the configs directory. The one you will want is probably kernel-2.4.18-i686.config, You will want to copy it to ../.config. One other point - before you do anything else, run "make distclean" in the /usr/src/linux-2.4 directory after you install the new source code. For some reasion, the code as packaged by Redhat, at least on every version or 2.4 I have installed the source for, will generate errors when building modules if you do not run this.
